The compounds of general formula (I) may include one or more asymmetric carbons. They may therefore exist in the form of enantiomers or diastereoisomers. These enantiomers and diastereoisomers and their mixtures, including the racemic mixtures, form part of the invention.

When the carbon bearing R₂ and R′₂ and/or the carbon bearing R₃ are asymmetric, preference is given to the compounds of general formula (I) for which the carbon bearing R₂ and R′₂ is of (S) configuration and/or the carbon bearing R₃ is of (S) configuration.

The compounds of formula (I) may exist in the form of bases or of addition salts with acids. Such addition salts form part of the invention.

These salts are advantageously prepared with pharmaceutically acceptable acids, but the salts of other useful acids, for example, for the purification or isolation of the compounds of formula (I), also form part of the invention.

The compounds of general formula (I) may exist in the form of hydrates or solvates, namely in the form of associations or combinations with one or more molecules of water or with a solvent. Such hydrates and solvates likewise form part of the invention.

The present invention secondly provides processes for preparing the compounds of formula (I).

Thus these compounds may be prepared by processes, illustrated in the following schemes, whose operating conditions are conventional for the person skilled in the art.

A protective group is understood to mean a group which makes it possible to block the reactivity of a functional group or position during a chemical reaction which might affect it, and which liberates the molecule after cleavage according to methods known to the person skilled in the art. Examples of protective groups and of methods of protection and deprotection are given, inter alia, in Protective groups in Organic Synthesis, Greene et al., 2nd ed. (John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York).

In accordance with scheme 1 the compound of formula (I) can be obtained by peptide coupling of 2-aminothiazole of formula (III) with the acylamino acid of formula (II) according to conditions known to the person skilled in the art, for example in the presence of benzotriazol-1-yloxytris(pyrrolidino)phosphonium hexafluorophosphate (PyBOP) or benzotriazol-1-yloxytris(dimethylamino)phosphonium hexafluorophosphate (BOP) and of N-ethylmorpholine or N-methylmorpholine in an inert solvent such as dimethylformamide, acetonitrile or dichloromethane at a temperature which can range from 0° C. to the ambient temperature.

The compound of formula (II) may be obtained by peptide coupling of the compound of formula (IV) with the protected acid of formula (V), in which Pg represents a protective group, for example a benzyl, according to methods known to the person skilled in the art, as described above.

The compound thus obtained is subsequently deprotected. In the case where the protection is a benzyl, the compound is hydrogenated beforehand in the presence of palladium on carbon in absolute ethanol at atmospheric pressure of hydrogen, at ambient temperature, to give the compound of formula (II).

Alternatively the compound of formula (I) can be prepared in accordance with scheme 2.

In accordance with this scheme the compound of formula (I) may be obtained by peptide coupling of the compound of formula (IV) with the amine of formula (VI) according to methods known to the person skilled in the art, such as for example in the presence of hydroxybenzotriazole hydrochloride (HOBt) and 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide (EDAC, HCl).

The compound of formula (VI) can be obtained by peptide coupling of the 2-aminothiazole of formula (III) with the protected amine of formula (VII) according to methods known to the person skilled in the art, as described above. The amine can be protected, for example, by means of an N-tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc), according to conventional methods known to the person skilled in the art, then deprotected by acidic hydrolysis, in the presence of gaseous hydrochloric acid dissolved in an anhydrous solvent or of trifluoroacetic acid.

The compounds of formula (I) in which R₂ and R′₂ form an oxo group can be obtained by oxidizing a hydroxyl of the compound of formula (I) in which R₂ or R′₂ represents a hydroxyl group. The reaction can be performed under conditions known to the person skilled in the art, for example with the Dess-Martin reagent. These compounds can also be obtained by direct coupling of a keto acid of formula (IV) in which R₂ and R′₂ together form an oxo group with an amine of formula (VI) according to conditions known to the person skilled in the art. The methods of preparing such keto acids are known to the person skilled in the art.

The compound of formula (III) in which R₄=—C(O)—R₆, R₆ representing a C₁₋₆ alkoxy group, can be obtained in accordance with scheme 3.

In accordance with this scheme the compound of formula (III) can be obtained by reacting an aldehyde of formula (VIII) in which R₅ is as defined above with the methyldichloroacetate of formula (IX) in which R₆ represents a C₁₋₆ alkoxy optionally substituted by a phenyl, and, for example, sodium methoxide or ethoxide at 0° C. in an adaptation of the process described by Takeda (Bull. Chem. Soc. JP, 1970, vol. 43, p. 2997). The mixture of products (X) and (XI) obtained is treated with thiourea in the presence, for example, of methanol or ethanol at reflux for 4 or 8 hours to give the compound of formula (III).

The compound of formula (III) in which R₄=—C(O)—R₆, R₆ representing a hydroxyl, can be obtained by hydrolyzing the above compounds for which R₆ represents a C₁₋₆ alkoxy group optionally substituted by a phenyl, according to conditions known to the person skilled in the art.

The compound of formula (III) in which R₅=—C(O)—R₆, R₆ representing a C₁₋₆ alkoxy group, can be obtained in accordance with scheme 4.

In accordance with scheme 4 the compound of formula (III) can be obtained by brominating a β-keto ester of formula (XIII) in which R₆ represents a C₁₋₆ alkoxy optionally substituted by a phenyl, followed by reaction with the thiourea, in an adaptation of the process described by A. Barton, Breukelman, Kaye (J.C.S. Perkin I, 1982, p. 159), to give the compound of formula (XII).

The β-keto ester of formula (XIII) can be obtained by reacting a ketone of formula (XIV) in which R₄ is as defined above with a dialkyl carbonate of formula (XV) in which R₆ represents a C₁₋₆ alkoxy optionally substituted by a phenyl, in an adaptation of the process described by L. Crombie, R. C. F. Jones and C. J. Palmer (J.C.S. Perkin Trans. I, 1987, p. 323). The β-keto ester of formula (XIII) can also be obtained by reacting an acid of formula (XIVa) activated with carbonyldiimidazole (CDI) with a malonate of formula (XVa) in which R₆ represents a C₁₋₆ alkoxy optionally substituted by a phenyl, in an adaptation of the process described, for example, by D. W. Brooks, L. D.-L. Lu and S. Masamune (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. Engl., 18, 1979, p. 72).

Where R₄ represents a hydrogen atom the preparation of the compound of formula (XIII) is accomplished in an adaptation of the process described, for example, by Tetrahedron Letters, 42, 2001, p. 2101. The compound of formula (III) in which R₅=—C(O)—R₆, R₆ representing a hydroxyl, can be obtained by hydrolyzing the above compounds for which R₆ represents a C₁₋₆ alkoxy group, according to conditions known to the person skilled in the art.

The compound of formula (III) in which R₄ or R₅ represents a group —C(O)—NR₇R₈ can be obtained in accordance with scheme 5.

In accordance with this scheme the compound of formula (III) is obtained by peptide coupling of the compound of formula (XVI) in which R₅ or R₄ represents a carboxyl group and Pg a protective group such as a Boc with a compound of formula (XVII) in which R₇ and R₈ are as defined above in the presence, for example, of HOBt and (EDAC, HCl). The compound thus obtained is then deprotected according to conditions known to the person skilled in the art. The compound of formula (XVI) in which Pg represents a Boc can be obtained by protecting a compound of formula (III) in which R₄ or R₅ represents a group —C(O)R₆ and R₆ is a C₁₋₆ alkoxy optionally substituted by a phenyl by the action of di-tert-butyl dicarbonate in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran in the presence of dimethylaminopyridine at ambient temperature, followed by hydrolysis of the carboxylate according to conditions known by the person skilled in the art, for example with lithium hydroxide in a 7:3 (v/v) tetrahydrofuran/water mixture at a temperature of 60° C.

The starting compounds, particularly the compounds of formula (IV), (V), (VII), (VIII), (IX), (XIV), (XIVa), (XV), (XVa) and (XVII), are available commercially or are described in the literature, or can be prepared by methods described therein or known to the person skilled in the art. The compounds of formula (IV) in which R₂ or R′₂ represents a hydroxyl may be prepared by adding trimethylsilyl cyanide to an aldehyde in an adaptation of the process described by D. A. Evans et al. (J.C.S., Chem. Comm. 1973, p. 55) or by reacting sodium nitrite with an alpha-amino acid in an adaptation of the process described by I. Shinn et al., (J. Org. Chem., 200, 65, p. 7667).

When a functional group of a compound is reactive, for example when R₁ contains a hydroxyl, it may necessitate prior protection before reaction. The person skilled in the art will be able to determine easily the need for prior protection.

The meanings of R₁, R₂, R′₂, R₃, R₄, R₅, X, R₆, R₇ and R₈ in the compounds of formula (II) to (XVII) are as defined for the compounds of formula (I).

The compounds of formula (II), (III) and (VI) are novel and likewise form part of the invention. They are useful as synthetic intermediates for the preparation of compounds of general formula (I).

The following examples describe the preparation of certain compounds in accordance with the invention. These examples are not limitative and merely illustrate the invention.

The numbers of the compounds exemplified refer to those given in the subsequent table. The elemental microanalyses and the NMR, IR or mass spectra confirm the structures of the compounds obtained.

EXAMPLE 1 Methyl 2-amino-5-(1-methylethyl)thiazole-4-carboxylate

14.4 g of isobutyraldehyde in solution in 400 ml of diethyl ester is admixed at 0° C. with 24.6 g of methyl dichloroacetate then dropwise with 400 ml of a solution of sodium methoxide (0.5M) in methanol. After 1 h at 0° C., 100 ml of saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution are added and the mixture is extracted with ether. The organic phase is dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The ether alone is evaporated, retaining the methanol, 8 g of thiourea are added and the mixture is heated at reflux for 6 h.

The compounds of the invention were subjected to pharmacological tests which showed their advantage as active substances in therapy.

They were tested in particular for their inhibitory effects on the production of β-amyloid peptide (β-A4).

β-Amyloid peptide (β-A4) is a fragment of a larger precursor protein called APP (amyloid precursor protein). The latter is produced and is present in various cells of human or animal tissue. However its cleavage in cerebral tissue by protease-type enzymes leads to the formation of the β-A4 peptide, which accumulates in the form of an amyloid plaque. The two proteases responsible for producing the amyloid peptide are known by the name of beta- and gamma-secretases (Wolfe M S, Secretase targets for Alzheimer's disease: identification and therapeutic potential, J Med. Chem. 2001 Jun. 21; 44 (13): 2039-60).

It has however been demonstrated that this gradual deposition of the β-A4 peptide is neurotoxic and might play an important role in Alzheimer's disease.

Accordingly, the compounds of the present invention, as an inhibitor of the production of the β-amyloid peptide (β-A4) by inhibition of gamma-protease, can be used in the treatment of pathologies such as senile dementia, Alzheimer's disease, Down's syndrome, Parkinson's disease, amyloid angiopathy and/or cerebrovascular disorders.

The tests were conducted in accordance with the protocol described below.

For the β amyloid cellular test, the CHO-K1 line coexpressing the CT100 of APP and PS1 M146L clone 30-12 is used. The line targets the inhibition of gamma-secretase. Presenilin is linked to gamma-secretase activity (Wolfe M S, Haass C., The Role of presenilins in gamma-secretase activity, J Biol Chem. 2001 Feb. 23; 276(8): 5413-6) and its coexpression with the amyloid protein or its N-terminal fragment causes an increase in secretion of the peptide A1-42 (β-A4), thereby generating a pharmacological tool which allows inhibition by the compounds of formula (I) of the production of the β-A4 peptide to be evaluated. 96-well culture plates are inoculated with 1×10⁵ cells per well in 150 μl of incubation medium. The presence of a minimum percentage (1.3% final) of serum allows cellular adhesion to the plastic after 2.3 hours of incubation at 37° C., in the presence of 5% CO₂. The products (15 μl) are tested at 10 μM DMSO 1% final and are incubated for 24-25 h at 37° C. in the presence of 5% CO₂ and 100% humidity. After this 24-25 h incubation, the cellular supernatants (100 μl) are transferred to ELISA plates, treated with the capture antibody 6E10 (6E10, epitope: aal-17, INTERCHIM/SENETEK 320/10, to determine the amount of amyloid peptides secreted by the cells in the presence of compounds according to the invention. A series of synthetic control peptide, “peptide 1-40”, at 5 and 10 ng/ml is treated in parallel. The ELISA plates are incubated overnight at 4° C.

The quantity of bound peptide is detected indirectly in the presence of a competitor which corresponds to the truncated peptide, peptide 1-28 coupled to biotin, which is then detected with streptavidin coupled to alkaline phosphatase. The substrate, p-Nitrophenyl Phosphate (pNPP FAST p-nitrophenyl phosphate, Sigma N2770), gives a yellow, soluble reaction product which can be read at 405 nm. The reaction is stopped with 0.1M EDTA solution. For this purpose, following binding the amyloid peptide in the ELISA plate, 50 μl of biotinylated peptide 1-28 are added to 100 μl of cellular supernatant and incubated for 30 minutes at ambient temperature. The ELISA plates are then washed 3 times. After drying by inversion on absorbent paper, 100 μl of streptavidin-alkaline phosphatase (Interchim/Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories 016-050-084) are added per well and incubated for 1 hour at ambient temperature. The plates are washed again and then the alkaline phosphatase substrate (pNPP 1 mg/ml) is added in an amount of 100 μl per well. After 30 minutes of incubation at ambient temperature the reaction is stopped by adding 100 μl per well of 0.1M EDTA and reading is carried out 405 nm.

The compounds of formula (I) according to the present invention showed an IC₅₀ (50% inhibitory concentration) of less than 500 nM, more particularly less than 100 nM.

The results of biological tests show that the compounds are inhibitors of the formation of the β-amyloid peptide (β-A4).

Accordingly these compounds can be employed in the treatment of pathologies in which a β-amyloid peptide (β-A4) formation inhibitor provides a therapeutic benefit. In particular, such pathologies include but not limited to senile dementia, Alzheimer's disease, Down's syndrome, Parkinson's disease, amyloid angiopathy and cerebrovascular disorders.

The use of the compounds according to the invention for preparing a medicament intended for treating the abovementioned pathologies forms an integral part of the invention.
